Juso HD --- Shares rebounded sharply as dividend income exceeded expectations, leading to upward revisions in earnings and dividend forecasts.

A sharp rebound occurred following the announcement on the previous day of upward revisions to earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 2026, alongside an increase in dividend payouts. Net profit forecasts were revised upward from 1.6 billion yen to 2.6 billion yen, reflecting a year-on-year decrease of 38.0%. The primary factor behind the upward revision was the receipt of higher-than-expected dividend income from an Australian coal mine investment announced on March 26. Accordingly, the annual dividend payout was raised from the initially planned 15 yen to 20 yen, representing a 10-yen reduction compared to the previous fiscal year.
